    You mean you're not using your CF setup to play DOS games like me?

    now that 280GTX's have reached the $450 mark. Unless on budget, the 4870 no longer seems to be a deal. I suspect it will drop to $229-$249 & pricing for 4850 will be $149-$179.

    Yes, the 4870 is no longer a good deal at half of the price of a GTX 280 with 80% of the performance
